I think that this is where cinematography comes in.

She was doing it intentionally but it was because she didn't know any better. That's where the other members of the chorus ensemble came in; at first they thought she was showboating but then realized that she really didn't know how to pull back and actually be one of the crowd.

Many of them go by "TARFlies"

I remember having a papberback collection of Twilight Zone stories and "A Thing About Machines" was in it. The story version made it a little more clear that the car held him under the water.

Not only did the crew follow them after work, Pam & Jim were confronted with the footage and had to comment on it. So Assless Chaps' suggestion above has also already been done.

Yeah, I think we can do without that story line. That teenager was WAY too invested in the idea of a baby sister.

Gotta go, Final Jeopardy's on.

Likewise, Godspell has a scene where the players do a dance number atop the nearly-finished WTC.

I'm gonna be That Guy and point out that a degausser doesn't look like that at all. But a real degausser doesn't look especially interesting, so we'll call it creative license and leave it alone.

Right. Coach has conned us, and yet once the bar gang figures the whole thing out, Coach still manages to confuse the issue with his "You're not even close/That's it exactly" exchange.

Indeed. Last season she sounded like she was doing her Marlee Matlin impression.

I was actually OK with the flashback but I thought it went on just a little too long.

Emmett and Bay's conversation had an honest feel to me, but having Daphne translate felt—in my head, anyway—like the director just wanted to break away from the speaking vs. subtitles bit for awhile.

The footage for the Bing was shot at a place called Satin Dolls. Once in awhile you can see their neon logo on a back wall. It's on Route 17 in Lodi.

Of all places, you see a lot of this on "That 70s Show," too.

Here's a link to that post:

Indeed. And have we ever seen an interview that was interrupted by someone else entering the shot?

A thread like this seems to come up on every show I follow. In our age of ad-zapping, this sort of practice is back (you may recall that it was this way when TV shows had single sponsors) and it's probably here to stay. Let's give them some credit for trying to work it in organically.

iPad + Keyboard (wireless or not) = Laptop. I don't think I see that point of that combo.

And yet, I was so worried for Jim. I thought he was going to sprain his eyeballs, he was rolling them so hard.
